Auto-translated
I tried to translate a letter, and it became clear that in the early stages of game development, the plan was to use two map sizes: 6x8 for 4 stacks of units and 12x14 for larger battles. After that, there were no good reasons given, except for the unwillingness to deal with balancing, which led them to abandon the idea. It's a shame; I think it was a very good idea.
